Judges 10:7-9
7 So the anger of Yahweh kindled upon Israel,––and he sold them into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the sons of Ammon;
8 and they enfeebled and oppressed the sons of Israel in that year,––eighteen years, did they this unto all the sons of Israel who were beyond the Jordan, in the land of the Amorites, that was in Gilead.

Judges 11:12-28
12 So then Jephthah sent messengers unto the king of the sons of Ammon, saying,––What occasion is there between us, that thou shouldst have come unto me, to fight against my land?
13 And the king of the sons of Ammon said unto the messengers of Jephthah––Because Israel took away my land, when they came up out of Egypt, from Arnon even unto the Jabbok, and unto the Jordan,––now, therefore, restore them in peace.
14 And Jephthah yet once more sent messengers unto the king of the sons of Ammon;
15 and said unto him, Thus, saith Jephthah,––Israel took not away the land of Moab, or the land of the sons of Ammon;
16 for, when they came up out of Egypt, and Israel journeyed through the desert as far as the Red Sea, and came in unto Kadesh,
17 then did Israel send messengers unto the king of Edom, saying––Let me pass, I pray thee, through thy land, but the king of Edom hearkened not, unto the king of Moab also, sent they, but he would not consent,––so Israel abode in Kadesh.
18 Then journeyed they through the desert, and went round the land of Edom, and the land of Moab, and so came, from the rising of the sun, to the land of Moab, but encamped beyond Arnon,––and entered not within the boundary of Moab, for, Arnon, is the boundary of Moab.
19 Then did Israel send messengers unto Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon,––and Israel said unto him, Let us pass, we pray thee, through thy land as far as my own place.
20 But Sihon trusted not Israel, to pass through his boundary, so Sihon gathered together all his people, and encamped in Jahaz,––and fought against Israel.
21 Then did Yahweh, God of Israel, deliver up Sihon, and all his people, into the hand of Israel, and they smote them,––so Israel took possession of all the land of the Amorites, the inhabitants of that land.
22 Yea they took possession of all the territory of the Amorites,––from Arnon, even as far as the Jabbok, and from the desert, even as far as the Jordan.
23 Now, therefore, it was, Yahweh God of Israel, that dispossessed the Amorites from before his people Israel,––and shalt, thou, possess it?
24 What Chemosh thy god giveth thee to possess, that, wilt thou not possess? and, whatsoever Yahweh our God hath set before us to possess, that, shall we not possess?
25 Now, therefore, art thou, really better, than Balak son of Zippor, king of Moab? Hath there been any, striving at all, with Israel, or any, fighting at all, with them,
26 all the time that Israel hath been dwelling in Heshbon and in her towns, and in Aroer and in her towns, and in all the cities that are on the banks of Arnon,––for three hundred years? Wherefore, then, have ye not made a rescue within that time?
27 I, therefore, have not sinned against thee; but, thou, art doing me a wrong, in fighting against me,––Let Yahweh, the Judge, give judgment today, between the sons of Israel, and the sons of Ammon!
28 But the king of the sons of Ammon hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah, which he sent unto him.
1 Samuel 11:1-3
1 Then came up Nahash the Ammonite, and encamped against Jabesh–gilead,––and all the man of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Solemnise with us a covenant, that we may serve thee.
2 And Nahash the Ammonite said unto them, Hereby, will I solemnise [a covenant] with you by digging out for you, every one’s right eye,––and laying it for a reproach, upon all Israel.
3 And the elders of Jabesh said unto him––Give us a respite of seven days, that we may send messengers throughout all the bounds of Israel,––and then, if there is none to save us, we will come out unto thee.
1 Chronicles 19:1-19
1 And it came to pass, after this, that Nahash king of the sons of Ammon died,––and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
2 Then said David––I will show lovingkindness unto Hanun, son of Nahash,––for his father shewed unto me lovingkindness. So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father,––and the servants of David came into the land of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun, to console him.
3 Then said the rulers of the sons of Ammon unto Hanun, Doth David honour thy father in thine eyes, that he hath sent to thee comforters? Is it not, for the sake of exploring and overthrowing, and spying out the land, that his servants have come to thee?
4 So Hanun took the servants of David, and shaved them, and cut off their upper garments in the middle, as far as their parts of shame,––and let them go.
5 And people went and told David, concerning the men, so he sent to meet them, because the men were greatly ashamed,––and the king said––Tarry at Jericho, until your beards be grown, and then return.
6 And, when the sons of Ammon saw, that they had made themselves odious with David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver, to hire for themselves––out of Mesopotamia, and out of Aram–maacah, and out of Zobah,––chariots, and horsemen. 7 So they hired for themselves thirty–two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah, and his people, who came and pitched before Medeba,––and the sons of Ammon gathered themselves together out of their cities, and entered into the war. 8 Now, when David heard, he sent Joab and all the army of heroes. 9 And the sons of Ammon came out, and set in array for the battle, at the opening of the city,––whereas, the kings who had come, were by themselves, in the field. 10 So, when Joab saw that the battle confronted him, before and behind,––he chose out of all the choice in Israel, and set in array to meet the Syrians; 11 and, the rest of the people, delivered he into the hand of Abishai his brother,––and they set in array, to meet the sons of Ammon. 12 And he said––If, too strong for me, be the Syrians, then shalt thou come to my help,––but, if, the sons of Ammon, be too strong for thee, then will I help thee. 13 Be strong, and let us put forth our strength, for the sake of our people, and for the sake of the cities of our God,––and let, Yahweh, do, what is good in his own eyes. 14 Then did Joab, and all the people who were with him, draw near before the Syrians unto the battle,––and they fled from before him. 15 And, when, the sons of Ammon, saw that the Syrians had fled, then fled, they also, from before Abishai his brother, and entered the city,––and Joab came to Jerusalem. 16 And when the Syrians saw that they had been defeated before Israel, then sent they messengers, and brought out the Syrians who were Beyond the River,––with Shophach captain of the army of Hadarezer, before them. 17 And it was told David, and he gathered together all Israel, and crossed the Jordan, and came unto them, and set in array against them,––and, when David had set in array against the Syrians for battle, they fought with him. 18 And the Syrians fled from before Israel, and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen,––and, Shophach captain of the army, he put to death. 19 And, when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were defeated before Israel, they made peace with David and served him,––neither would the Syrians help the sons of Ammon any more.
